Ryan was born November 3, 2006, in Englewood, Colorado, son of Joey Merrill Kilpatrick and Melanie Moure Kilpatrick. Ryan loved the beach in winter, all things vintage, road trips with his dad, and late-night talks with his mom. He was a self-taught niche music producer and loved to create. Ryan never met a stranger and embraced ‘even the least of those’ among us.

In addition to his parents, Ryan is survived by his brothers, Jared Morgan Kilpatrick and Joey Merrill Kilpatrick II, both of Summerville, his maternal grandparents Frank Moure Jr. of Springville, VA and Sally Lambert Dillon of Abbs Valley, VA. Ryan is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents Ercel Leon Kilpatrick and Dorothy Altrude Woodard.
